Fixing GCode to resume where print stopped

Hello,

I am trying to salvage a long print after the print stopped 90% of the way through. I followed this post to edit the GCODE but ran into an issue when comparing what the printer says its z value is vs what the GCODE says the value is. Layer number 783, which is the layer that did not get printed (i.e. layer 782 was the last layer printed) has a z-value in the GCODE of 156.6, however when I went into the printer settings to check the z value I got 166.6.

I am inclined to go with the GCODE value as layer 783 in the file should be the same when I restart the print at those coordinates but I dont want to use teh nozle as a battering ram on my part by mistake. Can anyone shed some light as to why the discrepancy is what it is?

Thanks for the help

I started the print and it was about 1cm above where it should be. So I reset the printer, lowered it by a cm and it worked. The discrepancy I think was relative and since the printer doesn't know where it is it needs to be told
